Melania Trump’s speechwriter is a registered Democrat

he Trump staffer who took the fall for lifting several passages of Melania Trump’s speech from an earlier address by Michelle Obama is a registered Democrat in New York, public records show.

Meredith McIver, a longtime writer for the Trump organization, admitted that she had helped Melania compose the speech she delivered at the GOP convention Monday night.

Melania, she said, had read her several passages of Obama’s 2008 speech to the Democratic convention over the phone and she mistakenly inserted them into the speech, she admitted in a statement.

Team Trump at first adamantly denied that there was any plagiarism — but fessed up Wednesday when McIver admitted the mistake.

“is a registered Democrat ?”

As in most “mass” shooters being such, or from Dem Families?

Neither. She took responsibility and offered to resign, not something you see in Democrats much. I believe her story.

Being a registered Dem in NYC or Chicago or DC doesn’t mean a thing. Someone might wish to show us the ever so silent and ineffective GOP in those venues.

It appears that the Trump org is still in the “naive and trusting” phase and think Democrats “just have disagreements with policy.”

this should wake them up real quick.

Apparently she offered her resignation but Trump wouldn't take it - probably for the optics. High road, and all that.

On the other hand, I very much doubt he believes she made a mistake. And I also imagine that he made that very, very clear to her - along with some other things about her future, should she make any more mistakes.

I know I sure as hell would.

She worked on Trump’s books before and did a good job.

Well apparently she helped co-author several of Trump’s books.Leads you to wonder how many other times she stated things not properly ascribed.

Melania’s speech had 1366 words in it, 23 of them are what the big tado is about.

While she might be good at books, speeches are another animal entirely.

This exposes a flaw in Trump’s method of making employees multi-task. All of his people including his family has been expected to pivot into politics. He should have hired an experienced speech writer.
